AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Houston track and field team concluded the third and final day of the NCAA Division I Track & Field West Preliminary Rounds at Mike A. Myers Stadium Saturday evening. Six student-athletes and two relay teams advanced to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. on June 5-8.

Due to the inclement weather yesterday, the men's hammer throw was moved to today. Senior Rick Fenton fouled his first throw of the day, but unleashed a school-record breaking toss of 65.69 (215-6) on his second attempt to punch his ticket to Nationals. This is the fourth time this season the San Clemente, Calif., native has broken the school hammer throw record.

In addition to running the 4x100m relays, Greenidge, Williams, and Onwumere will compete in individual events at the NCAA Championships. Greenidge will compete in the women's 100-meter hurdles after running a time of 13.34, while Williams will take on an elite field of runners in the 110-meter hurdles. Williams placed second in his heat with a time of 13.87. Onwumere ran a time of 23.58 in the women's 200-meter dash to punch her ticket to the finals.

Sophomore John Horton will advance to his first Outdoor Nationals after tying his personal best of 15.66m (51-4.5). This trip to Nationals will be the second straight for the Copperas Cove, Texas, native.
